i actually loled at that
honestly i'll probably rip my hand or my shin open trying to handle broadheads in a stand for the first time and the hunt recap will mostly be me buying a can of dip and sitting in the ER waiting room

I'll be honest, looking at a broadhead gives me shivers...
i've already wondered what kind of conversations are going to occur if i start doing things my way when the guys come out in the sxs to help me gut a successful kill
the first awkward thing will be when i mention i haven't gutted an animal in like 4 years.

I think you'll find gutting them and quartering them back at camp much easier. Gutting, like riding a bike.
I think you missed the part " if you're coming from a western state there's a 3 point minimum and a $500 surcharge"

South west DANE COUNTY is a whitetail bow hunters paradise the last few days of Oct and the first couple weeks of Nov.
If they have great habitat there will be big bucks. That area is almost as good as Iowa.
Try to get some cameras out if you can. I've logged and hunted that part of the county quite a bit.
The key as always is access to good property.
Early and middle October can be good , but you will need a good food source like alfalfa ,soybeans or fresh combined corn along with unpressured deer to see much daylight movement.
Don't be afraid to do some mid day scouting and move stands accordingly. The first time or two in a stand is always the best.
Good luck

Yes I get that urge every sit. Don’t get down.
Late morning is the best time to be in the stand that time of year- like 10-11am is money.
If you must, do that in the early afternoon.
Yeah, just sit it out and relax. Midwest deer are spooky as hell. Any noise and bye-bye! There should be lots of leaves down and it will be noisy. Late morning other hunters might be getting down and going home for lunch or whatever and could push some deer around.
I hunt mainly public, Kettle moraine, like still hunting over stand, get bored too easy.
Thats gun though.
My friend has a farm in WI and comes out for elk. Brings me cheese ,fish, venison, garden veggies.
Tempted to go up and deer hunt some time or fish.
But there is no way I could sit in a stand.
I've gotten up from sitting a spring for an hour elk hunting and gotten up to look around and walked into elk and blew it.
Been doing that my whole life. LOL But I fill tags.

Me too. I call it "bumble" hunting, as I just hike around hoping to 'bumble" into some elk.
Yeah sounds like Blacktail hunting in the oak leaves and PO thickets.

Whatever you do, don’t eat squeaky cheese curds while in the stand. Midwest deer can hear very well

For the most part, still hunting is a very effective way to push the deer over to your neighbors. But during the rut anything can happen.
